WWE Raw Results 4/20 - Roman Reigns To Appear On Raw After WrestleMania

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage of "WWE Raw" on April 20, emanating from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

Tonight marks the fallout from WrestleMania 42, a night proven by history as ripe for returns, debuts, surprises, and of course, "WWE NXT" call-ups. 

As of yet, no matches have been announced for tonight's show. But Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Oba Femi, and Brock Lesnar are all advertised to appear. Rhea Ripley, Penta, Logan Paul, and Stephanie Vaquer are also scheduled to appear. 

Femi defeated Lesnar in the opening of Sunday's event, with Lesnar leaving his gloves and boots in the ring – a hallmark for wrestlers looking to retire. Vaquer was dethroned by Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship on Saturday, while Ripley dethroned Jade Cargill to become WWE Women's Champion. 

Roman Reigns captured his seventh WWE World title in the main event of Sunday's show, taking CM Punk's World Heavyweight Championship and promising to stick around for the summer. Femi had made it clear during the Post-Show that his path shall cross with Reigns' one day soon, and Reigns went on to encourage Femi to try his shot. 

Elsewhere, while not confirmed for the show as of yet, Gunther can be expected to try and leverage his favor from Paul Heyman after beating Seth Rollins. He had help in the shape of Bron Breakker, himself returning to action, and he may surely have something to say to Heyman, Paul, and Austin Theory about the state of the Vision. 

Heyman looks to have his hands full balancing all of that with Lesnar's apparent retirement. 

"Raw" streams via Netflix at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT.

Oba Femi kicks off the show with his entrance, suited and booted, the T-Mobile Arena chanting his name and strutting along with "The Ruler." 

He takes a moment to soak in the crowd's chanting and applause. The mic goes up to his mouth, but he lowers it once more as the crowd breaks into another chant for his name. 

"Your Ruler has arrived!" He declares at last, dropping the mic. He continues to stand in the ring and soak in the crowd chanting along with his song. 

A backstage segment featuring Asuka and Kairi Sane plays. Asuka says she aims to remind Iyo Sky how her relationship with Rhea Ripley is working out for her. She says Sky not only made her own choice to turn her back on Asuka, but tried to corrupt Sane against her too. Now she and Sane will teach her to rue that choice. 

Sky's music plays to begin her entrance, joined by new WWE Women's Champion Rhea Ripley ahead of a tag match against Asuka and Sane. 

The match starts with Sane and Sky in the ring. They tussle in the middle of the ring and Sky gets the advantage to push Sane up against the ropes. But the referee counts for the break and allows Sane to run at Sky when she does so. Sane at the advantage now by grabbing Sky's hair and throwing her down to the mat. 

Momentum keeps switching in the early goings, each competitor having the other telegraphed until Sane couples a foot stomp with a spinning hurricanrana from the rop rope. Sky gets a quick roll-up on Sane for a two-count, and follows up with a butterfly backbreaker before tagging Ripley in. 

Ripley drops Sky onto Sane and makes the cover for a two-count. Sane tags out to Asuka. 

Asuka gets some strikes off and follows up with a baseball slide knee, but gets caught with a capoeira kick to take Asuka off her feet. Ripley sends Asuka into the referee and Sane takes a swing at her from the apron, Ripley ducks it but Asuka takes advantage of the distraction. 

Sane takes Ripley out on the outside of the ring with an InSane Elbow as the match goes to commercial break. 

Coming back from the commercial break and the Kabuki Warriors still hold the advantage. Sane goes for a cover on Ripley but only gets a two-count. Ripley fights both Asuka and Sane off as they attempt a double team maneuver, and she manages to tag out to Sky just as Asuka enters the fold opposite. 

Sky fights both Asuka and the incoming Sane, dropping them with a double drop kick in the middle of the ring. She runs between the corners each competitor is sat in, delivering running knees against the buckles, going for the cover on Asuka for another two-count. 

Sky tags Ripley back in, with Ripley delivering a crucifix slam followed by a missile dropkick from Sky, Ripley this time going for the cover and getting a two-count. 

Sane gets a blind tag in on Asuka, allowing her to take advantage and go for the cover. Sky breaks up the fall at two. Asuka and then Sane go at Sky, Sky getting the better of the former before the latter had her under wraps, launching her against the ropes – but Sky used the momentum to turn it into a suicide dive onto Asuka. 

Back in the ring, Ripley hits Rip Tide to Sane. Sky follows up with an Over The Moonsault and makes the winning pinfall.

A backstage segment follows with Adam Pearce talking to Penta. Je'Von Evans enters the frame and tells Penta he should be champion, but isn't trying to be disrespectful. Penta leaves with Evans dissatisfied, which is only compounded as Pearce introduces the newest member of Monday nights: Ethan Page. 

Page and Evans renew their "WWE NXT" acquaintance and things get testy before Pearce books a singles match between them later in the show.

Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner and "WWE SmackDown" star Royce Keys is shown in attendance. 

CM Punk makes his way out through Gorilla with no theme, no pyro, just the split crowd receiving him. He stands there, saying nothing, before finally taking a knee and saying "It's-" for the crowd to reciprocate "CLOBBERING TIME!" sparking his true entrance complete with music. 

He smiles as the crowd cheers for him, fixing his face into a more lamentive. He said he's dealing with a lot of loss over the past few months, name-checking Duke Roufus and Larry among several other colleagues and dear friends to have passed away.

He uses that as a segue to his loss at WrestleMania on Sunday, although he admits the losses out of the ring stung him far more. He says that the support the fans provide him day in and day out is why he doesn't just break down from all his losses, and he knows with their support he'll find a way to deal with this one too. 

He says he could have just stayed at home after losing the World Heavyweight title the first time around, but because he stayed ready he landed himself another opportunity and become the champion again. He says that if he had just broken down and given up then the crowd would be listening to Jey Uso in his position right now. The crowd boos, and he says he doesn't understand why, he likes to "YEET!" too. 

He says he will not be taking vacation after this, because he never knows when an opportunity is going to fall out of the sky. 

Cody Rhodes' music hits to precede the WWE Champion's arrival, rocking a gnarly black eye from his punt at the hands – or foot – of Randy Orton on Saturday. 

Rhodes gets in the ring and Punk can't help but have a look at the eye, prompting a laugh from the champion. 

Punk offers to leave as to not step on his toes, but Rhodes says this is Monday night "Raw" and this is his time.

Rhodes says he's the one that feels and looks like a loser, Punk jokes around as to whether that was intended to be a dig at him. But he continues to talk Rhodes and his victory up, making the case that it was easier for him to beat Reigns than Rhodes beat Orton due to the nature of their relationships. 

Punk admits he was a loser, and Rhodes wasn't, but he will stay ready; he turns his attention to the WWE Championship, "Because you never know when an opportunity is going to fall out the sky."

"Hey Punk," Rhodes calls after him as he leaves. "You say when." 

A vignette plays for Finn Balor after his victory over Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania. He says that he expected the betrayal from Mysterio, but it was JD McDonagh that surprised him. He talks about their history together and how McDonagh had a choice, and he chose Mysterio. 

He says that tonight, he will take him out.
